Chapter 129 The True Ruins of the Wood God Temple! Seclusion for Cultivation!
Meanwhile, on another part of the vast and boundless continent of ruins, during the Spirit Academy Tournament.
The summit of a solitary, dormant volcano.
Ji Xuan, who is second on the leaderboard, is leading his teammates from the Holy Spirit Academy in a hunting team!
Suddenly, he frowned slightly.
On the light screen of the academy sign, Xiahou's team, which was originally at the front of the line, suddenly dimmed.
In contrast, Bing Tianxiao, who topped the scoreboard, saw his points skyrocket!
"Xiahou is a piece of trash."
Ji Xuan's eyes turned cold as he uttered a few words without any mercy.
He was well aware of Xiahou's strength; he was a prominent figure in the Holy Spirit Academy.
They were actually eliminated by Bing Tianxiao, which is a huge disgrace to the Holy Spirit Academy.
"It seems that Bing Tianxiao is really tenacious..."
Ji Xuan put away the academy token, turned around, looked at his four companions behind him, and said in a tone that was indifferent but urging:
"Stop playing around, let's finish this quickly."
"Eliminate those twelve teams below!"
……
On the other side...
In a range of golden mountains.
Wen Qingxuan was idly playing with the golden spear in her hand.
"team leader!"
The vice-captain strode over, pointed to the changes on the courtyard sign, and anxiously reminded him:
"The leaderboard has changed drastically! Xiahou from the Holy Spirit Academy has been eliminated, while Bing Tianxiao from the Northern Cang Spirit Academy has seen a huge increase in points, putting him even further away from us in the rankings!"
Upon hearing this name, a look of surprise appeared on Wen Qingxuan's beautiful face.
Then, she rubbed her smooth forehead with some distress.
"How can this guy score points so fast?"
She knew Bing Tianxiao's strength; if left unchecked, she wouldn't be able to secure first place.
A glint of eager fighting spirit flashed in Wen Qingxuan's beautiful eyes. She parted her red lips slightly and muttered softly:
"This is really a headache..."
"It's making me want to go and fight Ji Xuan directly, and steal all his points to make up the difference!"
"Captain, let's forget about it. We're not confident we can handle it!"
Others cried out in anguish.
……
Let's turn our attention back to the main hall of the Wooden Temple.
After putting away the wooden guardian, Bing Tianxiao did not leave immediately.
He flipped his hand, and a wooden tablet radiating an ancient blue light appeared.
Bing Tianxiao reached out and grasped it, probing it with his divine sense.
A moment later, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
"I see, this is just an outer hall."
He turned his head, looked at Luo Li and the others, raised the wooden tablet in his hand, and chuckled:
"This wooden tablet records the true location of the treasure trove of the Wooden God Temple."
"There lie the true legacy and treasures left behind by the Wooden God Temple!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huang and the other two immediately showed excitement, a fiery glint in their eyes.
However, Bing Tianxiao's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering them up.
"However, if you remain this weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to lead you any further."
Bing Tianxiao's expression became more serious as he looked at Xu Huang and the other two and said:
"The real treasure troves will inevitably attract fierce competition from top teams, making them far more dangerous than this place."
"Now that you have the Immortal Fruit, your most urgent task is to find a completely safe place to cultivate in seclusion."
"If you can't break through the physical barrier with the help of the Immortal Spirit Fruit, you won't even be cannon fodder if you go. I don't recommend you join in the fun."
Upon hearing this, Xu Huang and the other two all became solemn.
They knew Bing Tianxiao was telling the truth; with their current strength, they would only be a burden if they went. If they could only read one fantasy novel in their entire lives, it would probably be "The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!"
"Don't worry, Captain, we understand the importance of this."
Xu Huang nodded solemnly, "Let's go find a secluded place for cultivation and strive to break through as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Tang Meier, who was standing to the side, also came over with the women from Wanhuang Spirit Academy.
"Captain Ice, Sister Luo Li."
Tang Meier smiled sweetly and bowed slightly in gratitude.
"We are so grateful to you for saving us this time, and for sharing such precious fairy fruits with us."
"We sisters will part ways here."
Bing Tianxiao nodded slightly, without trying to stop him:
"Alright, have a safe journey. If you happen to meet Wen Qingxuan, please give her my regards."
Tang Meier gave Bing Tianxiao a deep look.
Without further delay, he led his team away, disappearing into the passageway of the main hall.
Watching the departing figures of the crowd, Bing Tianxiao turned his head and looked at Luo Li, who was aloof and stunningly beautiful, beside him.
"Let's go, let's go cultivate too."
The group found a secluded mountain peak rich in spiritual energy and dug several caves inside.
Xu Huang and the other two were among those who swallowed the Immortal Spirit Fruit and began to exert all their strength to break through the physical barrier.
On the other side, Bing Tianxiao casually flipped through the few scrolls of Wood God Temple divine arts he had previously plundered.
Then, bored, he tossed it aside.
"These pieces of junk dare to call themselves divine magic?"
Bing Tianxiao shook his head, a hint of undisguised disdain flashing in his eyes.
He turned his head, looked at Luo Li who was preparing to meditate and cultivate beside him, and chuckled:
"Luo Li, don't bother practicing these trashy divine spells from the Wood God Temple. It's a waste of your time."
As he spoke, he extended his slender fingers, and a dazzling golden dragon shadow quickly condensed at the tip of his finger.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bing Tianxiao gently touched Luo Li's smooth brow with one finger.
A vast and profound amount of sword intent information instantly flooded into Luo Li's mind like a tidal wave.
Sensing the terrifying sword intent, a look of shock appeared on Luo Li's cold and beautiful face.
"This sword technique... is incredibly powerful!"
Luo Li didn't mince words. She gave Bing Tianxiao a deep look and said softly, "Thank you."
Afterwards, the two closed their eyes in the quiet stone chamber and entered into a deep state of seclusion and contemplation.
……
Time slipped away quietly in this tranquil state of cultivation.
I don't know how much time passed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, three incredibly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations erupted from the adjacent stone chamber.
The tightly closed stone door suddenly burst open, and Xu Huang, Zhao Qingshan, and Mu Fengyang strode out.
At this moment, their skin faintly glowed with a jade-like luster, and every move they made exuded a powerful sense of strength far exceeding that of the past.
"Hahaha! I've finally overcome the physical barrier!"
Xu Huang clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, his eyes filled with wild joy.
However, their joy was short-lived.
Boom—!
The outer defensive array of their concealed area was suddenly subjected to an extremely fierce attack, producing a deafening explosion.
"Who goes there?!"
Xu Huang and the other two's expressions changed, they immediately stopped smiling, and in a flash, they rushed towards the entrance of the passage.
Outside the passage, a dozen or so figures had gathered.
The leader was a young man with a gloomy face, dressed in a blood-red robe.
The young man crossed his arms, exuding an extremely violent and oppressive spiritual pressure.
The oppressive force was so great that even Xu Huang and the other two, who had just broken through the physical body barrier, felt a difficulty in breathing!
